lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Financial Regulation currently under discussion is likely to apply for many years to come. It is therefore crucial that its provisions for implementation are as clear as possible. The new Financial Regulation should not only lead to efficient handling but also better supervision than was previously the case. When supervision and operation are handed over to the various directorates-general, they must be monitored effectively. It is therefore vital that the accounting officer has a strong and independent position. We have proposed an amendment in this vein. The accounting officer must be able to demand and receive more information, stop payments in cases of doubt and report directly to the highest level. With this in mind, we would also like to express our regret that Parliament has not taken this opportunity to investigate the confusion in this area which has existed for years. This should have been carried out by summoning Mrs Andreasen to appear before the Committee on Budgetary Control. The fact is that we have still not received full answers on the approval of the Commission’s accounts for 2001. My political group has also proposed an amendment limiting the Commission’s ability to write off and write down liabilities. There must be clear grounds for writing off liabilities so that we do not see more cases like the Flechard case, where the person responsible for a serious error is not forced to accept the full consequences of their action. This explains our second amendment. Finally, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his excellent work."@en1
